After his role in 11 time Oscar nominated Hugo, Sasha Baron Cohen is back in classic fashion and he's not alone! He's even joined by his Hugo co-star, Sir Ben Kingsley. The writer and star of Ali G, Borat and Bruno is back to his "shockumentary" roots as he plays General Aladeen, the suspiciously familiar dictator of the Republic of Wadiya. For a taste of things to come check out the website for the Republic of Wadiya  and the official trailer after the jump.

Hugo is going to be a massive release in Australia, as it has been everywhere else in the world. This may come as a surprise to us Aussie's because the overwhelming consensus is that nobody has heard of it! Regardless, Hugo has me incredibly excited for the new year, especially with such a fantastic cast and crew. Martin Scorcese, Christopher Lee and Sir Ben Kingsley... nuff' said!
